VPN Access
By providing VPN (Virtual Private Networking) access, the University Computer Centre enables worldwide access to internal computer services at the University, e.g. the central file server, or the central High Performance Computing Cluster.
VPN access is only possible outside the university or from wifi UniHGW-offen.
Requirement for the use of vpn access
To access the VPN, you will need a suitable VPN profile, which you can obtain via account management. The system automatically recognises your permissions and only offers you VPN profiles that you are authorised to use.
You can use the open W-LAN UniHGW-offen for the initial VPN setup.
Information regarding online publications
We would like to specifically point out that VPN is no longer necessary for accessing numerous online publications subscribed by the University Library, as these can be accessed via Shibboleth [de] . The corresponding Shibboleth access point can be found in the University Library’s catalogue list: Catalogue of online publications that permit Shibboleth access [de]
Unfortunately, you still have to use a combination of VPN and proxy server as previously for all other publications (e.g. for the publishing house Juris) if the licence includes VPN access.
